Unfortunately, we all remember that rubbish song Who Let The Dogs Out from a few years back.

Thankfully, either the music-buying public or the Baha Men themselves have since realised the error of their ways.

They haven’t been seen or heard since.

But it seems the Doggies – the football version – are a little slower to learn.

NRL’s Bulldogs and AFL’s Western Bulldogs are in damage control after being forced to attend to on and off-field controversies over the past week.

At Canterbury, forward Brad Morrin faces a possible double-figure suspension at the judiciary tonight for taking to Timana Tahu’s arm like a fat guy eating his last meal before he goes on the 40-Hour Famine.

And, as if that isn’t bad enough, then Damon Alley-Tovio decides it would be a good career move to get involved in some fisticuffs at Parramatta’s Rydges Hotel, then flee the scene in a stolen car.

And as unbelievable as it sounds, Western Bulldogs star Jason Akermanis – yes, Aker – has again put his foot in it with more controversial comments in the media.

The bleached-blond human headline wrote in his column in the Herald Sun last week of his suspicions that an opponent was using EPO to gain an unfair advantage when playing for the Brisbane Lions.

Akermanis was interviewed by Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority and AFL drug testers on Friday, where he revealed the identity of the player he was referring to.

Not once has Aker mentioned the player’s name in public, but the media has a way of finding out these things.

Now, unlike Channel Seven, we will take the moral high ground and not name the accused player. Let’s just call him M Braun – wait, that’s too obvious, how about Michael B.

Now I know some people out there are going to say: “Not another Bulldogs-bashing column.”

At least one one-eyed Canterbury fan in the Daily’s advertising department may not come over to the sports desk for a chat as often any more.

But it’s time for NRL chief David Gallop, or Bulldogs boss Malcolm Noad, to really put their foot down and declare in no uncertain terms they aren’t going to tolerate the club’s continued indiscretions any more.

Whether that be the docking of competition points or ripping up the contracts of offending players, it has to be done.

Meanwhile, the Western Bulldogs knew they were taking a risk when they lured the outspoken Akermanis from the Gabba to Whitten Oval this year.

Unfortunately, this could be Aker’s most expensive gaffe yet.

To accuse a rival player of cheating, without any rock-hard evidence to fall back on, is lunacy. Even for Aker.

As Eagles coach John Worsfold said in a press conference: “He (our player) may come out of it a very rich man.”

He probably will.
